Acetal (Delrin®) Material

Acetal homopolymer often falls under the brand name of Delrin, from Du Pont’s ‘Delrin®’ resin. Wear resistance and lubrication are the key to longer lifetime of parts, acetal resin brings added value to applications. Acetal allows moving parts to have have higher efficiency due to less energy loss through friction. A low coefficient of friction is created between two sliding surfaces. Sliding surfaces can bear higher loads and run at higher velocities In modified forms Acetal can replace the need for external lubricant and guarantees the right lubrication over the lifetime of the parts.

Homopolymer Grades

Delrin® Acetal Homopolymer properties include low water absorption and superior creep resistance, tensile strength, and fatigue endurance. It is resistant to hydrocarbons, solvents, and neutral chemicals and is recommended for bushings, fittings, impellers, and other mechanical and electrical applications.
